With regard to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy thread, I am curious which movies you feel has done a book justice.
And yes, we all realize that a movie can only offer and entail so much detail; so let's not get into some pissy ass argument... unless, it's entertaining...

The whole LOTR Trilogy was pretty much spot on as far as I am concerned. 8^)

Did you read the books? They did the books justice but were not even close to spot on. Lots of missing things. Perhaps the "Extended I want to make alot of money off you poor gullable motherfucker editions" were spot on, but not the originals.

Well, I rented the video of "See Dick Run," hoping to re-live my elementary school years with tales of Dick, Jane, and their rascally dog Spot.
What I got was a heavily endowed man chasing large busted women across a tropical beach in Pasaaic, NJ.
I prolly should have read the back cover. :oops:

I don't particularly remember the details since I read it so long ago, but I'm going to go with Fight Club. And Sin City obviously.

They haven't released those yet. We're still at special extended edition. Next is special extended uber-geek edition, then finally cash cow edition.

Oh man, do I ever love that film. James Brolin and Margot Kidder. Great shit. The huge red-eyed pig in the window is one of my favorite creepy moments. The glowing eyes at the window are also cool.
